Mowing of the Grasses!

Yesterday morning was a beautiful time for the mowing of the grasses. This year I came to my senses and we borrowed our neighbor's hedge clippers. It went soooo much better! I knew about this, but every year HAND CLIPPED them! What was I thinking!!!! I wasn't!By early afternoon, it looked like this and by later in the day this!I think we are going to invest in our own clippers for next season. It is the only way to take care of this gardening job.

2014, An Herbal Year in Review!

Outdoor Herb Garden Chores!

1. Get all of those herb plants into the ground to enjoy all the different flowers and leaf colors and patterns they provide.2. Be sure to deadhead herbal flowers that will rebloom such as calendulas and dianthus.3. Make sure to cut basil flowers so that the plants continue to produce leaves.4. If you have fragrant roses blooming, clip the flowers and dry the petals for potpourri or jam or jelly.5. If you have German chamomile plants from last year, cut the flowers that are ready. They look like coneheads with petals pointing to the ground.6. Begin to harvest herbs that are growing out of bounds, i.e., shading other herbs.

7. Most importantly enjoy your herb garden! Be happy to see your herb garden come alive for another season!
